Welcome to my blog. It varies how regular I write posts here. I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

Do NOT fund such racial divisiveness!

Please show sense, and do NOT allow such racially charged, national 'newspapers', to succeed. I do not censor the images or names, because I want to name and shame these publications! Utter filth.  


After taking these photographs today, I stood back and watched the customers, desperately buying these without question. I realised that these are the people who vote with national/racial pride, and are stuck in the last century! This is why our country is choosing to follow this global pattern of racial divide. People who are not elderly, must realise that our world, is to be lived in by us and future generations.













Toilet paper is only a few aisles away! ;)




















Originally, I had planned to open this week's post with a brilliant piece of music (above link). A single that I love. Not too rocky, but definitely not soft and mellow!

5min halloween version

Current 'lifelong' version

At about 8pm on October 30th, i realised, quite comfortably, that I had nothing planned 'Halloween-wise' for the following day. I never am a large fan of this holiday, but spent 5 minutes (if that), rapidly updating my social-media 'photo'. I do not use photos to symbolise myself because I cannot stand what i see in the mirror. I am more than a visual image.

I was in the gym on Monday. As part of my 'circuit routine', I spend 5 mins on the gym-bike.
PB 30kph
Only 5 minutes, but such a power-increase I achieved, shows to me the advantage that one gets by resting before a trial. Previously this year, I had developed myself aerobically, but this time I was trialling myself strength/power-wise, for only 5 minutes. I rode more successfully with rest beforehand. Happy :)

There is something that I want (not a material object). A concept. I have wanted it for about 8 or 9 years...
I just deleted half of the note above as I couldn't work out how to finish it. It was depressing me.

I continue by praising 6music, again. I know his name so well, but it was only through unexpected surprise, hearing this piece on the radio, and being able to take it as a single piece of music, i was emotionally moved by it's beauty.
6music Mary Anne Hobbs, 'Biorhythms'
Ludovico Einaudi

Buggy ;)

 Empty buggy sits in front of sign. Bus luggage area, empty (picture below)


I remember when I used to get so p***** off!
Photos on the bus, this morning. I was able to chuckle to myself because I knew that there was enough room to squeeze behind, and I remember when i was first a wheelchair-user , scared of new life experiences, which i may have to face! I am experienced now.

Universal
How design of things should be
Optimum usability
Sorry about the photo quality (my experience of taking photos of toilets is non-existent)! The purpose, is to explain 'how things should be'. There is only room or need for one toilet, but it can be used by everyone! There is no need to have two smaller toilets, men's and women's.



Incredible. Must-view. 
A docu-film presented by Leonardo DiCaprio. Just about the biggest and best actor in the world explains the biggest and worst problem that the world faces...



Before The Flood


.... I almost forgot! Weekly updates given to my 'Coffee-shop blog' :)
